Introduction
Khaylia joined the Symerian Military soon after she left school, against the wishes of her parents. They had remembered the horrors of the Clone Wars and had even lost family in the fighting. They were terrified of loosing another family member. However she was headstrong and determined and in the end there was nothing her parents could do to stop her joining up. Currently she is posted as the Deputy-Head of security on the Symerian Defence Force vessel Biliskner.
Personality Traits
Despite a difficult upbringing Kay turned grew up into a nice and polite young woman. She is well-mannered, kind hearted, generous and will nearly always do the right thing. She does however have an explosive temper, but a long fuse. It takes a lot to make Kay flip but when she does, she goes off like bomb. Once when she had been posted to a Military Base on Symeria's moon, she attacked a superior officer when he had been ranting and raving about her for over half an hour. In the fight that ensued she broke her superiors nose and jaw and he needed over 2 dozen stitches in his head. She spent 6 weeks in the brig for that outburst.
Family
At a very young age Kay's mother was diagnosed with a serious and incurable brain disorder and soon after the diagnosis, she had to be taken into permanent care at the city hospital. The treatment to keep her alive was extremely expensive and despite Animar's -Kay's father- bringing in every penny available, the savings began to dwindle. With about 6 months to go before the savings ran dry, Animar turned to the only thing that could bring in enough money. Crime. He began mixing with criminals and thieves and other lowlifes and eventually began working with a group of armed robbers. The group pulled off a few jobs and the family were able to enjoy a few luxuaries for a change. But soon Animar's luck ran out. During a bank raid him and the others were subdued by the Security and Police Force, and later sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Early Years
With both her mother and father unnavailable, Kay had nowhere to turn, nobody to guide her. She began a descent into crime, drugs, and violence. She began to mix with the wrong people within Symeria's underworld. For almost a year after she left school she joined a gang and became a spice addict, she also had frequent encounters with the law. In the end the Symerian Government hired Bounty Hunters to capture all the members of the group. Kay had heard of the reputation Bounty Hunters had from her fellow gang members and was absolutely terrified. She was so sure that the Bounty Hunters would kill them all and say that they had no choice. She was wrong.
Salvation
- "Why are you doing this?"
- ~ A very tearful Kay to the Bounty Hunter
One evening, the gang were all sitting in their little hangout when a man burst in with a gun in his hand. Before anyone had even had time to react, half of them were dead on the floor. The others tried to run but the only way out was through the door which the Bounty Hunter had came in through. Kay was hiding behind a box crying her eyes out, her short life flashing before her eyes, about to be prematurely ended. Then something happened. The Bounty Hunter stopped firing. She looked up to see the Armour Clad man standing in front of her staring down at her tear laden face. He had lowered his weapon and was holding it loosely at his side. She lifted herself off the ground and peered over the top of the box, every single one of her friends was dead on the ground, she looked back at the Hunter.
She challenged the Bounty Hunter, her words barely audible through the sounds of her crying. To her surprise the Hunter holstered his weapon and removed his helmet. Kay took in his features as he stared into her eyes. He had shortish brown hair and darkish yellow eyes, he had a strong jaw and had hadn't shaved in a couple of days. He introduced himself as Ryac Brightlite, then held out his hand and said that he wouldn't hurt her and said that her friends were only unconcious.
- "We need to get out of here before the Police arrive."
- ~ Ryac to Kay
He managed to convice her to leave with him and that he wouldn't hurt her. Kay didn't know why but she felt she could trust him, possibly because if he was going to shoot her he would have done it by now. Ryac informed the police that all of the gang had been incapacitated. Luckily they didn't know how many there were in the gang or their identities, so Kay was able to escape with Ryac.
A New Beginning
Ryac sorted Kay out in an appartment in one of the city's high rise buildings and helped her sort herself out. She still hadn't found out why he spared her. After about a month Kay was clean, and she owed it to this Bounty Hunter. They spoke about what Kay wanted to do and after several hours, she had agreed to try out life in the Military. So Ryac contacted the Military, he spoke to Brigadier General Hedona, she and Ryac had been good friends since the Clone Wars, and put in a good word for Kay.
Before she knew it, Ryac was flying Kay to the Military Training Academy on Darganon (Symeria's Moon), where she would begin her induction into Military Life. The Bounty Hunter was unable to stay with her while she trained but before he left he gave her a subspace communicator so that she would be able to contact him if she needed to.
So Khaylia Marui stood at the entrance to the Darganon Academy looking up into the Cockpit of the YT-1300 that was preparing to take off. She was looking at the Man at the controls preparing the ship for takeoff, her blonde hair billowing in the updraft. The man who not long ago, she thought was going to kill her, but as it turned out he did the same opposite. He saved her life. Ryac Brightlite looked up from the controls and the two looked into eachothers eyes. He smiled and as a tear roled down her face she smiled aswell. The tear was of sadness; sadness that the only person she could turn to was leaving. He had promised to come back and see her from time to time but she had no idea when or how often that would be. The two waved at eachother and Kay continued to watch as the Symerian Flames lifted off and headed off into space. When the ship had dissapeared she wiped the tear away from her face and turned through the door towards her new life as an Officer in the Symerian Marine Corp.
Symerian Marine Corp
With Ryac's help she joined the SMC and the next section documents her progress through the Military. One of the best things about Kay being in the Military was that the Symerian government now paid her mothers medical bills.
Basic Training
The first stage of training was to get used to the Military way of life. Learning how to behave, how to do everything the way the Officers liked it. Kay adapted to this quite easily, with her upbringing and the situation with her mother she was used to it. The next part was Marksmanship Training, she was taught everything there is to know about the Standard Issue Symerian Triple Barelled Shotgun, the Symerian CSA-12 Carbine, the Symerian MP1 PDW Pistol including how to become a great shot with all the weapons. She was also familiarised with a myriod of other weapons but never went into much detail.
All the while she was doing marksmanship training she went through intense fitness training aswell. Every muscle in her body was worked and worked until she was almost the peak of female physical perfection. Her basic training also included demolition, contruction, learning another language, propaganda, medical training, piloting and several other aspects. She passed Basic Military Training with flying colours and was then transfered to Marine Corp Officer training. This kind of training was much more specific.
Officer Training
Her time on Marine Corp Officer training lasted a bit longer that basic training and was certainly more interesting. First she was taught to fly a Symerian KX-1 Class Interceptor to near-imperial standards, as well as being able to maintain, repair, and load the fighter with everything in needed. Next came the SDF Gallorean class Cruisers, learning the layout of the entire ship, where everything was located, and the best ways to get there. She was instructed in Interior-vessel combat. Fighting CQB style within the ship itself. One fun lesson was being taught how to service and operate the vessels Rail Guns. She was taught several other lessons during this phase of her training and once they were completed she was officially welcomed into the Symerian Marine corp as "Leiutenant 2nd Class Khaylia Marui".
First Deployment
Now a fully fledged member of the Marine Corp she was posted to the vessel Biliskner as a Security Officer and Rail Gun operator. The ship was soon deployed to investigate Pirate activity in the next system. As Symeria was a Loyal imperial planet it was allowed a certain ammount of juristiction outside of it own solar system. The Hyperspace journey lasted only a few hours and they dropped out of hyperspace short of a gas giant with an inhabitable moon. The intelligence report stated that there was a small pirate base on the moon. The crew were under orders to disable to pirate base and neutralise the pirates.
Kay was tasked with leading a squad during the assault on the base. Her, her squad, and 3 other squads prepared themselves for the assault. They waited by the boarding ramp ready to leap into action. As the Biliskner descended into the moons atmosphere an AD tower began to fire. AD towers are useful for engaging fighters and small ships but it barely even caused the shields to register that they were under fire. A quick burst from a rail gun destroyed the tower. As soon as the ship touched the ground the four assault teams began attacking. There were not many pirates but they still put up a helluva fight.
Within 5 minutes all the pirates had been neutralised and a salvage team had been called to salvage whatever they could from the bases wreckage. The operation was a success and thankfully nobody had got hurt. Well, no Symerian got hurt. But most important of all she had experienced what Ryac had called "The Thrill of Battle" for the first time, and she enjoyed it. She enjoyed it a lot.
